Summary of Brianna Madia's Nowhere for Very Long

By IRB Media

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

#1 I was born and raised in Fairfield County, Connecticut, just outside New York City. Black Rock was a middle-class neighborhood, with flower beds in front yards and families on bikes. Every bike I’d ever had was stolen.

#2 I grew up in Bridgeport, a city in Connecticut, in the middle of the class system. I was not rich, but I was not poor. I was not from the right neighborhood, but I was not from the wrong one either.

#3 I had many conflicting emotions about my mother. She was a complicated woman, and I often felt like she was stealing a part of me when I looked up to her for guidance, but then would ignore me when she was with her friends.

#4 I was 14 when I was assigned to work on the sailboat with Mr. Lander. I was extra weight, and Mr. Lander complained often about the shortness of my khakis and my attitude. I was not a sailing prodigy like Neil, but I did not want to learn because it would confirm my position on the boat.
